Hi, does anyone encounter the HID unable to switch on. Sometime need to off and on again to on it. sometime just cannot on it. It is only the driver side. I am thinking it could be the ballast or maybe transistor.
driver side HID faulty

Your HID ECU is faulty or water entered, try take out the ECU and dry it, by vacuuming it, drying it with medium hair dryer or put it in hot sun for a couple of hours...
If that doesnt work you either got to replace it or do a mod by installing a modified HID lamp, inclusive bulbs and installation only RM270 done in Malaysia.
Most top accessories shops have the HID conversion kit, I think is from Taiwan.
Another option is that you can change your ECU by buying from second hand parts shops in Muar or Johor major towns...

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback. it is not so easy to remove the ballast so i went to my usual guy that does my lighting. initially he also thought it is the ballast but luckily he has an original starter and tested it. the fault is the starter that connect directly to the HID bulb.
but it is not cheap. Damage S$100. aftermarket could be cheaper and come is whole set but need to modified on the casing.

Had the same issue on a few cars, once it was a bulb issue,3 times ballast...different cars but somehow ballast is usually the issue
Yap, my bulb got slight crack too on the bulb. Keeping my finger cross hope it can last another 2 yrs.
